So much more than a film festival - NY Shorts created a community with care and compassion. Thoughtfully curated and organized, it's an artistic atmosphere that inspires everyone to aspire higher.

NY Shorts is incredible! It is a great film festival based in NYC that selects short films based on artistry. I am honored to premiere my film "Duet" here and win the Best Documentary. What an amazing experience! Thanks!
